Ruby for the sun

How can the Sun affect your life?

The Sun represents our external nature and body. As such, it plays an important role in health, money, job, fame, and power. When the Sun is weak, health can be significantly affected. This includes general health, energy, bone problems, arthritis, autoimmune diseases and heart problems. Depending on the position of a weak Sun — financial issues, criticism, problems with the father, dishonour, loss of reputation, confidence problems, and head injuries can occur. Fortunately, it is possible to reduce this planetary karma with the use of gemstones.

How can a Ruby help?

If the difficulties you are facing are influenced by the Sun then an astrological gemstone can help. A powerful Ruby may bring better health, energy, and vitality. Improved finances, fame, confidence, internal strength and recognition can also be seen.

When should I buy it?

Auspicious day: Sunday

Monday and Thursday are also good. Another good time to buy a Ruby is when Sun is exalted, in the sign of Aries, or in its own signs of Leo. Also, when the nakshatras of the Sun are active — Krittika, Uttraphalguni, and Uttarashada.

Setting

The setting ideally should be yellow Gold.

The ruby should be worn on the fourth finger of the right or left hand, but right is preferred. It can also be worn as a pendant.

Finding the right stone

It should be at least 1.5 carats in weight.

Rubies come in various colors, which can all be effective. Depending on the type of astrological problem, different colors may be more effective. For health issues, blood red rubies are best. For issues related to money, orange-red is better and if injustice or criticism is prominent, pinkish red is best.
